It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

I love it when there’s clearly been a years long, nationalistic edit war and the powers that be have had to step in with a solution that satisfies no one but at least stops the more bellicose nonsense.

If this is happening at the Centre for Disease Control and military troops are going to foodbanks, imagine the condition US government agencies are in that are tasked with managing financial market risks

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

Jenna would make Liz write jokes for her, Liz would write a bunch of feminist material because she’s mad at Jenna and then try to pull it at the last minute because she’s worried for Jenna’s safety. Jenna would ham it up so hard that the Saudis would love it as parody of shrill American women

You want to look non-threatening and if they use violence, make the optics of that as bad as possible for them. That's why priests and grandmas are so dangerous, silly costumes (doesn't have to be inflatable) is a great way to achieve this for anyone else.

The silly costumes also repel the firebomb lefties? Is there anything they can't do?

I don't think Trump can handle getting clowned on like this for very long. Using violence will look terrible against people in silly costumes, and the only other option is retreat.

The predictable outcome of angling for the nobel was that they now look like losers who couldn't pressure someone into getting what they want — complete idiots and amateurs at the strongman game.
